 Our ART workshops in Nepal can be booked by schools and universities for students interested in Art or Photography. They can be booked as ‘open’ workshops, meaning that the booking slot is shared with other schools so students have a chance to meet other art students, or each slot can be reserved exclusively for one school.
Nepal broadens the mind of any visitor but is particularly rewarding for a student of the arts. The workshops are constructed in close collaboration with the school or university tutors to maximise the students’ creative experience in Nepal and ensure that it contributes to their required coursework.
Daily excursions open the eyes of the students to the rich colours, vibrant life and wide range of rituals of Kathmandu. A cultural expert and guide is on hand to answer queries and help give insight and meaning into the exotic diversity. The students explore different techniques to record and respond to what they see in a variety of ways – making good use of a camera, sketching with different materials, searching for colours, looking at textures, collecting objects.
In the studio professional Art tutors help the students to develop their ideas and make individual creative responses. They guide the students in a variety of techniques depending on the direction they would like to take - how to achieve fine realistic interpretations, how to express notions in abstract, how to explore mixed media, how to convey a message, and, most importantly, how to search themselves for technical answers to the effects they want to achieve.
A life model, in traditional Nepali dress, is available in the afternoons for students to sketch, paint or photograph. Special requirements for life models in addition can also be arranged.
Photography students spend more time out of the studio. During the workshop, the photography tutors and students discuss ideas on how to capture difficult-to-get images. Strategies are developed and extra excursions arranged based on these discussions.
In the studio the Photography tutors encourage the students to analyse their photos, understand how they managed to get certain results, work out strategies to achieve different results.
Photography students also have the opportunity to manipulate their photos with computer software, or use them as a basis for art works.
